What other events are happening?

There are probably ten events a night, and that doesn't include the ******** that happens at Falling Rock.

The biggest are the Pints for Prostates Rare Beer Tasting and the Crooked Stave What The Funk.... but those tickets and times haven't been announced yet.

There will be plenty of lists when the date gets closer. You will not have trouble finding some place to drink great beer the whole week

Pints for Prostate Rare Beer Tasting is Friday from 1-4. VIP tickets for an extra hour of drinking are sold out.

I'll be hitting OB on the way to Denver Friday night. Hopefully WTF is Friday night again, or I'll just be tooling around looking to drink with you ****ers. Going to Saturday members sesh this year.

Note to The BA, accountants do not like it when you schedule GABF during the first week of the month.

Pints for Prostate Rare Beer Tasting is Friday from 1-4. VIP tickets for an extra hour of drinking are sold out.

Ah yes, forgot about that. We'll be there, VIP and all.

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

Not sure if I am going to any actual GABF Sessions yet, but I am definitely not missing WTF again.

 

[Steve2]

WTF last year was easily in the top 2 of the events we went to last year. Pints for prostates was also great.

I'm also just about as excited about getting a crescent from the bread maker at The Source. Had quite a few of those, and some excellent espresso while waiting for crooked stave to open.

 

[Penguin3200]

Will be back again this year Thursday to Sunday. Rare beer VIP and Sat Member Session. Also WTF will not be missed.

 

[jeblikesbeer]

will hopefuly be there missed tickets today will be there tomorrow refreshing like a mo fo!

 

[jeblikesbeer]

got my tickets for Friday... also a buddy stupidly bought Thursday tickets... so i'll have a set of four up for trade/sale when we figure which session we really are attending...

 

[Lovepea1]

I will be going this year! First-timer! And it's my birthday that weekend. Got tickets to Thursday and Members session on Saturday.

Thursday is the best. Even better than the members session.

 

[Gene1]

Agreed. Went to Thursday and members last year, decided to skip members session this time around.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

Rumor is that WTF is going to be Thursday night.

I hope that's not true.

 

[JonathanAmes]

I will be at GABF on Thursday, prolly will do Rare beer on Friday than the Source on Saturday. That was what I did last year & I had a fabulous time so not messing with success. Hope WTF is on Friday that might be my one change up.

 

[ucsbmullet]

Headed to Thursday myself so will be stoked to try some brews I missed last year before they tap out. A lot of beers I wanted to try had tapped by Saturday members session last year. But on the flip side I hear the Sat members session is good because of the fewer people allowed in.

 

[blue_bleeder]

I will probably be at the Thursday session. It's a fairly overwhelming event.

 

[FishPondManager]

Rumor is that WTF is going to be Thursday night.

Of course it will be. I think Chad calls my wife and boss and asks them "what day can fishpondmanager absolutely not attend WTF so we may plan accordingly. "

 

[FishPondManager]

Sounds like WtF is in fact on Thursday October 2nd. ****ing ****

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

I would be willing to bet that they planned it to better coincide with the rare beer tasting.

Why the hell are tickets going on sale at 6am MST??????

Looks like I'll be having plenty of practice for the Gang Bang Bif take down. WTF Thursday, Rare Beer Friday afternoon, GABF Friday night and then Saturday GABF member session.

And why standard time when it’s summer? 6am MST = 6am PDT.

 

[Gene1]

Honestly debating whether to even go to any GABF sessions now. Thursday is kinda the only one I considered doing after seeing how much good stuff kicked on the first night last year. It will be a tough call.

I kind of wonder whether we'd be better off just building up a $65 bar tab at falling rock or hops and pie honestly.

 

[Penguin3200]

Glad we held off on the Thursday tickets with the possibility that this was going to be the case. Now to get tickets, or end up at a bar or brewery or three on Thursday.

You have to be able to get to the bar to actually order $65 worth of beer at Falling Rock... that's not easy during GABF week.

If you go, go to Saturday Afternoon.

The only session I would completely avoid is the frat party on Saturday Night.

I will now be pouring at Denver Rare Beer Fest on Friday if anyone is going to that....

[Labors Of Hercules]

[Stubs]

[Stubs]

I'll be volunteering at GABF. Not sure what nights but id love to be rocking a talkbeer.com tee shirt.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]
